Cimetidine 100mg

Hi,
If you are using Cimetidine 100mg for your dog, would you please let me know where to buy it? I am in the U.S. Vet told me I can use Tagamet, it is the same but it is so difficult to find 50mg so I heard that Cimetidine comes as 100mg and I can split it.
thanks
Kitty

My Daisy is on Zitac 3 x 50 mg and of course Zitac is Cimetidene and the smalest size we can buy here
is 100 mg which is easily snapped in two .And as you say Tagamet is also Cimetidene but our Vets will
only supply their approved version ie Zitac .

I can't buy Zitac in U.S.
I wonder if I can buy it from online pharmacy in UK. Do you know a reputable online pharmacy in UK I can check?
thanks

If you don't have a walmart near buy Amazon.com has the walmart 60ct tablets. But there prices change every day. I have seen it as low as $7 and as high as $15. If you go with Amazon watch it for a few days and the price may change (go down). Right now it's over $12. (Still cheaper then Tagamet)http://www.amazon.com/Equate-Heartbu...6403474&sr=8-1

Tagamet is the name brand and more expensive. Most pharmacies have it. I have found Tagamet & the generic equivalent at Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, Dollar General. Not sure if any of those places are near you? Just some ideas.

When I am in the US I look for generic cimetidine when it is on sale in Walgreens or other pharmacies and buy it -- comes in 200mg tabs that I split in 4 with a pillcutter. It may be cheaper to get on prescription however -- worth asking your pharmacist what generic cimetidine would cost.
